Fontanet, A. Nakouné, E. /Landier, Jordi Across 133 confirmed mpox zoonotic index cases reported during 1970-2021 in Africa, cases occurred yearround near the equator, where climate is consistent. However, in tropical regions of the northern hemisphere under a dry/wet season cycle, cases occurred seasonally. Our findings further support the seasonality of mpox zoonotic transmission risk. 2024 text https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010090742 fdi:010090742 Besombes C., Mbrenga F., Gonofio E., Malaka C., Bationo C.
